At Greenyille, s. c., one day last week,
venerable colored man named Peter
Herbert was arranged in court on the
charge of retailing liquors without
license. When the witness for the gov.
errment had been examined, the vener-
able Ex-Governor Bonham went on the
stand to testify to the good character of
the defendant. Tall and erect, with eyes
still glowing with the fire of eloquence,
he stood and asserted the honor of Her.
bert, who, for forty years, had been his
trusted slave and friend, and although
over 20 years old and enfeebled with re-
cent illness, he had made a journey of
over 100 miles for the sole purpose of de-
Tending faithful old Peter In his hour of
need. The incident was rendered more
touching when Adiutant General Bonham,
Peters young master" appeared as his
attorney, performing the service as a
pure gratuity to the old man. The case
ended in an acquittal, and tears of graft
tude stresmed down the face of Peter as
he expressed his thanks to "old master"
and to young Mass M:Iage"

THE SHADOW OF TIE GALLoWs

THE SHADOW OF THE GALLONS.
The Chicago Anarchists have at last been
brought within measurable distance Of
the gallows. The Supreme Court Of Illinois
has affirmed the judgment of the Superior
Court of Cook county, and ordered that the
sentence be carried into effect on Noyem.
Der the 18th next, against the seven An
archists who were capitally convicted for the
Haymarket butchery. Seven weeks more,
unless further stay Of execution be granted,
and this, we take 1t, is hardly probable in a
case that has been considered with such
care-the sheriff will do his work and jus.
tice will exact retribution for one of the
most heinous crimes against social order
ever committed in this law-respecting land
The public has watched with exemplary
patience for the rulings of the Supreme
Bench on the appeal. There was general
conviction that the Anarchists had forfeited
their lives to the law, but 1t was curbed by
as general a desire that every legal scruple
should be satisfied. That satisfaction is found
in the unanimous decision which has been
reached, for, though one of the judges Is un.
willing TO say that the record is absolutely
free from error, he fully agrees with his as
sociates in holding that none Of the errors
complained Of are of such serious charac-
ter as TO call for reversal of judgment.
Now that the Supreme Court OF Illinsis,
speaking substantially with one voice. has
affirmed the fairness of the trial accorded 10
the condemned Anarchists, public opinion
will have solid ground to stand upon in de-
manding due exaction of the penalty.

Canvassing the availability Of Mr.. Lin
coin as a Presidential candidate leading
Western paper practically proposes post
penement Of the discussion until after the
New York election this fall "If, as it Is
probable, Fred. Grant is nominated for Sec
rotary Of State by the Republicans of New
York an opportunity will thus be afforded
to test the sentimental availability of can
didacy resting on public gratitude for the dis
tinguished patriotic services Of the father. "
1t is evident then that young Grant Is to be
run on his fathers record. If the plan
works well in limited but an important
field 1t may be employed with applause In q
presidential contest If 1t fails in the pre-
lminary trial 1t will probably be found pru-
dent to abandon the larger project. If II
succeeds why, unless Mr.. Grant objects
should not a team be made which will
utilize the sentiment to its utmost by as
signing him to the second place. Young
Lincoln, Of Illinois, and young Grant, Of
New York, their fathers memories plead for
votes in their behalf The combination
would be strong AS successful pioneer
Mr. Grant might be found claiming the
honors of the first place. New York is the
most important State II he can carry it in
the fall of 81, he might lay claim to 1t for
the fall of 'S8.
1t is hardly flattering TO tho young gentle
men themselves to dismiss all question Of
personal merit and place their candidacy
for public Office solely upon the service of
sire. But in looking for availability po-
litcal managers are not tender Of personal
feelings. Until the Grant strength is de-
veloped in the fall the Lincoln programme
must be held in allegiance.

ers of mortgages ought to pay their proper
ton OF the taxes according TO their actual
worth and relieve the land owners and farm
ers OF an undue contribution from their earn
ings. The magistracy and constabulary pre-
serve the public peace for The protection and
comfort Of the mortgage holders as well as the
land owners. The Courts are maintained as
well o. for the enforcement Of their mortgage
debts Is for other suitors, and the public build
ings, vaults and records preserve the evidences
of their wealth in the same manner, as they
preserve the titles of the land owners.
The argument thus far is based upon the
theory that the owner of mortgage wealth
should pay taxes as well as the owner Of other
kind Of securities.
But a conveyance of property by way of
mortgage by debtor to bis creditor is in effect
and in law, transfer of the ownership. The
proviso that the debtor is to have the title
again upon the repayment of the loan or debt,
in no way alters the real ownership of the
property between the parties as long as the
mortgage debt is unpaid. The creditor is the
real owner Of the property pledged to the ex.
tent OF his debt, and the debtor is only the
owner OF the value of the property over and
above the amount of the debt. His occupa-
ton or possession Of the property pledged, is
mere privilege that exists by the sufferance
of the creditor. The same may be said oil
property liable TO the lien OF a Judgment debt.
The creditor has an interest In the property
TO the extent of his claim and the delay 10 the
execution Of his judgment is the sufferance by
which the debtor holds possession. The bene-
fetal ownership of property being the true
test of the actual worth Of creditor and debtor,
the committee are Of opinion that the pro-
vision of the constitution will be best sub
served and agriculture promoted, by requir-
ing the creditor to pay taxes on the value OF
his interest and to credit the debtors prop
erty with the amount of the incumbrance up
on It, and charge him only with what it is
worth over and above the mortgage or other
lien debts upon II.
An objection is sometimes urged that the
relief contemplated by repeal of this exemp-
ton will be frustrated by the requirement OF
| q covenant from the debtor to pay the taxes
levied on the money of the mortgages. 1t has
been the settled policy of this State in its
usury laws, 10 preyent excessive interest be
ing collecteaa,- End the same principle should
oe extended to cases Of taxes, by a provision
In the tax laws, that all contracts by which
the debtor is compelled 10 pay the taxes of the
creditor shall be null and void. II every per-
son ought to pay taxes according to his actual
worth, the law ought TO place its condemna-
ton on contract which would compel one
person to pay the taxes of another. If it is
right to prevent the taking Of usurious inter-
est, it is equally right to prevent the enforce
ment Of contracts which amount to the same
thing.
